I am a lvl 38 kensai...just wondering why my abiltiy bonues doesn't change

Post by Mortal »

the kit descripition says that
+1 dmg and +1 to hit every three lvl, and -2 speed factor every four lvl, but when i go to record and see the To Hit is only +3 and Damage is only +6 is that the maximum that it can go?? my Reaction is -2 is that a good or bad thing? for my weapon style bonus, damage is +1 critical hit is +1 and weapon speed is -4 is that the maximum that it can go also or The record doesn't show anything regarding the increase in +1 dmg and to hit every 3 or 4 levels? thanks

50 bucks says you're wearing gauntlets of ogre strength.

The +3/+6 you're looking at is your strength bonus(ability bonuses are your stat modifiers). Turn on the 'to hit rolls' button under Game Options>Feedback to see the full attack bonus (it'll include strength, weapon and skill bonuses along with the +12 from the class).

Hehe, I'll double that. the "ability score" isn't you class bonuses, but your attribute bonuses, as in strenght. the kensais bonus to hit and damage is hidden, but you'll have +12 at your level.

Kensais can't wear gauntlets. He might have 18/00 STR, though.

WHOOPS!!

I'll say it again.

WHOOPS!! :eek:

Pretty dumb since I'm playing a Kensai right now! :o

I was gonna hedge that bet by saying he somehow had an 18/00 strength. Guess I lost that bet. Come collect anytime. I'm on the corner. :D

That's not a bug btw. The +3 to hit, +6 damage, and -2 reaction are ability modifiers (you can tell this because right above "To Hit: +3" it says "Ability Bonuses") which only show what bonuses/penalties you get from your stats. They don't include anything else (like enchanments, weapon proficiencies, bless, etc.) Not very useful considering how many things modify those traits.
